Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi Ojaja II, the Ooni of Ife, has confessed that he was on the verge of committing suicide after a failed business endeavor.
The monarch made the revelation while addressing at The Muson Centre in Lagos for the first edition of ‘Memorable Moments With Music.’
According to Ooni, after receiving a loan of N8 billion from the bank, he attempted suicide.
“There is power in music. When I almost committed suicide in my younger age as a real estate business man, it was music that saved my life. Music is a perfect communication with God.
“I had become very successful in the real estate sector at a very young age. I took a loan of N8 billion about 12 years ago to build high-rise building which I had to pull down by myself when we were already on the 10th floor, and the money went down the drain.
“Life turned upside down thereafter and the only option was for me to commit suicide, but listening to series of inspirational music reset my thinking faculty.
“I have since then adopted music as a very powerful solution tool when faced with challenge,” Ooni said.
